Subject: [PATCH] Scaffolding and Foundation Changes
- feat(cli): add compactToolOutput ui setting
- feat(cli): add DenseToolMessage component and supporting rendering logic
- feat(cli): implement compact tool output rendering logic in ToolGroupMessage
- feat(core): add tool display name constants and update tool constructors
- feat(cli): update compact output allowlist to use DISPLAY_NAME constants
- test(cli): add compact tool output rendering and spacing tests
-----
Note: Unsafe assignments/assertions/'any' usage still exist in ToolGroupMessage.tsx and DenseToolMessage.tsx and need to be addressed before PR.
Note: Tests contain 'any' casts for mocks that need to be addressed before PR.
